RE: Eight year hiatus -- a little help please
Your already on the right track by shooting lots of different bows. Never buy a bow because of the name, buy it because you like it.
For someone like you I would say try and find a really great pro shop nearby. Find someone that is going to take the time to talk to you about the newer bows, what they feature, what they dont, what accesiroes are available, and set you up right. IMO for this I would avoid your bigger stores, Cabelas, Gander Mtn, etc as they dont seem to have the knowledge or the time that a small proshop will.
